ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies) The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote

Plastics — Determination of dynamic mechanical properties —
Part 2:
Torsion-pendulum method
1 Scope
This part of ISO 6721 specifies two methods (A and B) for determining the linear dynamic mechanical
properties of plastics, i.e the storage and loss components of the torsional modulus, as a function of
temperature, for small deformations within the frequency range from 0,1 Hz to 10 Hz
The temperature dependence of these properties, measured over a sufficiently broad range of temperatures
(for example from −50 °C to +150 °C for the majority of commercially available plastics), gives information on
the transition regions (for example the glass transition and the melting transition) of the polymer It also
provides information concerning the onset of plastic flow The two methods described are not applicable to
non-symmetrical laminates (see ISO 6721-3, Plastics — Determination of dynamic mechanical properties —
Part 3: Flexural vibration — Resonance-curve method) The methods are not suitable for testing rubbers, for
which the user is referred to ISO 4664-2, Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of dynamic
properties — Part 2: Torsion pendulum methods at low frequencies

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 6721-1:2001, Clause 3, apply
4 Principle
A test specimen of uniform cross-section is gripped by two clamps, one of them fixed and the other connected
to a disc, which acts as an inertial member, by a rod The end of the specimen connected to the disc is excited,
together with the disc, to execute freely decaying torsional oscillations The oscillation mode is that designated
IV in ISO 6721-1:2001, Table 2, and the type of modulus is Gto as defined in ISO 6721-1:2001, Table 3
The inertial member is suspended either from the specimen (method A, see Figure 1) or from a wire
(method B, see Figure 2) In the latter case, the wire is also part of the elastically oscillating system

During a temperature run, the same inertial member can be used throughout the whole run, which results in a
frequency decreasing naturally with increasing temperature, or the inertial member can be replaced at
intervals by a member of different moment of inertia in order to keep the frequency approximately constant
During the test, the frequency and the decaying amplitude are measured From these quantities, the storage
component G′to and loss component G″to of the torsional complex modulus G *
to can be calculated
5 Test apparatus
5.1 Pendulum
Two types of torsion pendulum are specified for use with this part of ISO 6721:
a) the inertial member is suspended from the test specimen and the lower end of the specimen is excited
(method A, Figure 1);
b) the inertial member is suspended from a wire attached to a counterweight and the upper end of the
specimen is excited (method B, Figure 2)
Both types of pendulum consists of an inertial member, two clamps for gripping the specimen (one of which is
connected to the inertial member by a rod) and a temperature-controlled chamber enclosing the specimen and
the clamps For method B, a counterweight and connecting wire are also required
5.2 Inertial member
5.2.1 General
The moment of inertia, I, of the inertial member, which may be made of aluminium, for instance, shall be
selected as a function of the torsional stiffness of the specimen, so that the temperature-dependent natural
frequency of the system lies between approximately 0,1 Hz and 10 Hz
When testing standard specimens (see 6.2), a moment of inertia, I, of about 3 × 10−5 kg⋅m2 is recommended if
the same inertial member is to be used throughout a run
NOTE For certain materials, e.g filled polymers, a value of I of about 5 × 10−5 kg⋅m2 may be necessary
If a constant frequency is desired over a broad temperature range, interchangeable inertial members with
different values of I may be used, thereby permitting the moment of inertia to be varied in steps of less than
20 %, i.e the frequency to be corrected in steps of less than 10 % When testing standard specimens (see
6.2) at a frequency of about 1 Hz, a maximum moment of inertia of about 3 × 10−3 kg⋅m2 is recommended
5.2.2 Method A (see Figure 1)
The total mass of the inertial member, the lower clamp and the connecting rod shall be such that the weight,
W, carried by the specimen is not too high [see Annex A, Equation (A.2)]
5.2.3 Method B (see Figure 2)
The total mass of the inertial member, the upper clamp and the rod must be balanced by a suitable
counterweight, so that the longitudinal force, W, acting on the specimen is minimized [see Annex A,
Equation (A.2)] The wire supporting these parts is part of the elastically oscillating system
5.3 Clamps
The clamps shall be designed to prevent movement of the portion of the specimens gripped within them They
shall be self-aligning in order to ensure that the specimen axis remains aligned with the axis of rotation and
Trang 8the test specimen remains adequately secured over the whole temperature range without distortion occurring,
thus allowing the free length of the specimen to be accurately determined
The movable clamp shall be of low mass
The moment of inertia of the whole system (consisting of the movable clamp, the inertial member and the
connecting rod) shall be determined experimentally
To prevent heat passing from the specimen out of the temperature-controlled chamber and in the opposite
direction, the rod connecting the movable clamp and the inertial member shall be thermally non-conducting
5.4 Oscillation-inducing device
The oscillation-inducing device shall be capable of applying to the pendulum a torsional impulse such that the
pendulum oscillates initially through an angle of not more than 1,5° in each direction for normal materials, or
not more than 3° in each direction for low-modulus materials (such as elastomers)
5.5 Oscillation-frequency and oscillation-amplitude recording equipment
Optical, electrical or other recording systems may be used provided they have no significant influence on the
oscillating system The entire equipment for measuring frequency and amplitude shall be accurate to ± 1 %
(within the transition region ± 5 %)

6.2 Shape and dimensions
Rectangular test specimens having the following dimensions are recommended:
Trang 9ISO 6721-2:2008(E)
Specimens which are rectangular in cross-section but whose thickness and/or width varies along the main
axis of the specimen by more than 3 % of the mean value shall not be used When comparing different
materials, the dimensions of the specimens shall be identical Specimen dimensions differing from the
preferred ones (50 mm × 10 mm × 1 mm) should be chosen to conserve geometric similarity with the preferred
specimen shape
Alternative specimen shapes may be used (e.g cylindrical or tubular); in such cases, dimensions and
tolerances shall be agreed upon by the interested parties
6.3 Preparation
See ISO 6721-1:2001, Subclause 6.3
7 Number of specimens
See ISO 6721-1:2001, Clause 7
8 Conditioning
See ISO 6721-1:2001, Clause 8
If mechanical conditioning of the specimen is required, the specimen shall be twisted through an angle greater
than 5°, but less than 90° in both directions about the torsional-test axis and returned to its normal position
9 Procedure
9.1 Test atmosphere
See ISO 6721-1:2001, Subclause 9.1
9.2 Measurement of specimen cross-section
See ISO 6721-1:2001, Subclause 9.2
9.3 Mounting the test specimens
Clamp the test specimen between the upper and lower clamps The longitudinal axis of the test specimen
shall coincide with the axis of rotation of the oscillating system Any misalignment of the specimen will cause
lateral oscillations that will interfere with the normal oscillation process
After clamping the test specimen, measure the distance between the clamps (the free length L) to ± 0,5 %
When setting up the oscillating system in the chamber, check to make sure that the test specimen is not
stressed
After assembling the oscillating system complete with test specimen, and checking its alignment, start the
heating or cooling (see 9.4)
9.4 Varying the temperature
See ISO 6721-1:2001, Subclause 9.4
Trang 109.5 Performing the test
Start the free oscillations by setting the pendulum (5.1) in motion using the oscillation-inducing device (5.4)
Record the oscillation frequency and the oscillation amplitude as it decays
Check that no amplitude decay is caused either by friction between moving and fixed parts of the apparatus or
non-linear behaviour of the material under test (see ISO 6721-1:2001, Annex B)
If the frequency is kept fixed during a temperature run, ensure that the inertial member is changed as and
when necessary
